Disastrous Baltimore Fire.

BALTIMORE, February o.
Shortly before Z o'clock this morn.
ing the six.stOry iron front.and.
side warehouse Of Darby 4 Co.,
candy manufacturers, at Baltimore
and Howard streets, was discover
ed to be on fire. An alarm was
sounded, but within twenty min.
utes all the walls had fallen. The
four.story building in the rear, al.
so occupied bv Darby & Co, was
destroyed. There were several
hundred persons employed in the
building, a large part Of whom are
females, but the fire fortunately oc.
Cured few minutes before the
time for them to 90 to work, and
three or four persons who had
reached the building narrowly es-
capped. SO intense was the heat
from the fire that all the heavy
plate.glass windows and doors on
the opposite side of Howard street
in the warehouse occupied by Cook,
Horner &c Co., plumbers supplies
were broken. The damage to
Darby & Co., on the building and
stocks is now estimated at upwards
of 5000, 900, nearly all of which is
said to be covered by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have origin
ated from the gas in the cellar.

New Heating Apparatus for Railroad Cars

An official test of the steam-heat-
ing apparatus, as applied by the
Milwaukee and st. Paul, was made
Thursday upon that company's
short.line train, which runs between
st, Paul and Minneapolis. The de-
vice consists of the use of the ex-
haust steam from the dome of the
engine, carried through pipes un'
derneath the engine and cars, with
a patent flexible coupling between
each car. The pipe connects in the
centre of each car with radiating
pipes on each side, with branch
under each seat. The pipes are 30
inclined that water condensed from
the steam escapes from the bottom
of the car. The test seemed to be
perfectly satisfactory, the thermom-
eter registering so degrees within
the car, while outside it stood at
zero, with a pressure of six pounds
to the square inch inside the car
The heat was distributed equitabIy,
and seemed TO be devoid of the dry.
ness which is ordinarily experienced
in day coaches when heated by
stoves. The fireman of the engine
declared after the test that he saw
no perceptible difference in the
amount of coal used. Another test
will be made soon on a through
train with greater number of cars.

licult case | ever had was one OF
this kind. 1t is thought by many
who have not informed themselves
that stammering is caused by
nervousness. If that were true
nearly all women, and u great
many men and children would
stammer. On the contrary, how.
ever, it S proved clearly that the
stammering or defect in speech
causes the nervousness. ! am OF
the opinion from observation that
the habit is very inirequently con
tracted by imitation for the reason
that often one child in a family
will stammer and the others Will
not. The older brother perhaps
will have the defect and not one
of the other children will stammer
though they have been together al
ways. Whatever the cause, when
a cure is once established there is
no more danger Of return OF
the defect or habit, than there IS
of its occurrence in a person who
never stammered at all"

mother for the purpose Of max
ing a test of the faith cnre, has
been returned to he grave. Mrs.
Stickney, who has been reticent
until nov, has made a statement.
The girl died on November 30.
Mrs. Stickney, after telling Of the
taking up of the body and the
PRAYERS uttered over it by herself
and others, SAYS:
Life did return % the body. She
breathed. Her heart beat. Her
body became warm and remained
so for six hours. There was also a
strong smell Of brandy around her.
She had taken brandy when she
was dying. Mrs. Allen also saw
her breathe, AMI felt the warmth
of her body Mrs. b. G. Stratton
examined the neck and remarked
that it was as warm as her own. |

time, expecting TO hear her speak

frightened and thOnght life was
gone. asked God to show me
what we had done, and 1t came TO
me that I had put my hands in the
way of Gods work. Life did not
leave the body, however, when |
thought it did. There was warmth
and a smell of brandy for days
after. The room was kept warm
the most of the time. II did seem
sometimes for days that could
detect a little breath, but ! cannot
say really know that she breathed
after that Sunday night. Or the
third or fourth day her mouth

from February & to II. On Febru.
ary II DR.. Palmer examined her
and said there was inanimate life
there. DIR. Palmer says she had
been i'm trance, but we believe
life was given in answer to prayer.
The body kept until February 16
without any marked change, except
at the tips of the fingers, and the
nose, which had dried from freez'
ing and thawing. From 3 =. NJ,
on February l6 to noon of the next
day, there was n marked change.
All sounds in the throat ceased,
and the body changed. Dr. Pat

was gone and decomposition had
